Lyttelton, George, first baron Lyttelton (1709–73), a prominent politician, and an opponent of Sir R.
Walpole, was also a friend of
Pope,
Shenstone, and
Fielding, and a liberal patron of literature. It is he whom Thomson addresses in
The Seasons and who procured the poet a pension. He published, among numerous works,
Dialogues of the Dead (1760), and a history of Henry II (1767–71). Of the
Dialogues, the last three were by Mrs
Montagu. He was caricatured by Smollett as Scragg in
Peregrine Pickle.
